2013 Orange Bowl in Miami

What better way to kick off the New Year than at one of the biggest football games of the year? Miami’s Sun Life Stadium plays host to the 2013 Discover Orange Bowl, which sees the Northern Illinois Huskies take on the Florida State Seminoles.

One of the longest-running bowl championships in American college football, the Discover Orange Bowl’s history dates back to the mid-1930s. Held on or around New Year’s Day every year since, South Beach comes alive with locals and visitors both keen on taking in the sights and sounds of the game, as well as nearby festivities and more.

Last year’s 70-33 rout of Clemson by West Virginia was one of the Discover Orange Bowl’s most entertaining matches, and this year’s game promises to be just as much fun. With both the home team Florida State Seminoles and visiting Northern Illinois Huskies boasting impressive records this year, the game promises to be a hard-fought affair. It’s college football at its finest, played in beautiful South Beach. Get ready for kickoff!
